Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix C3W against official Altera documentation to confirm temperature grade and packaging details. Confirm lifecycle status as this model may be discontinued or subject to long lead times. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Stratix V family before procurement.

Selection Notes

Compare logic density and transceiver counts against similar Stratix V models like the 5SGXMA4K3F40I3LG to determine suitability. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to system thermal constraints. Verify that the 1517 FBGA footprint matches the target PCB design specifications and assembly capabilities.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, designed for demanding bandwidth-intensive applications. It succeeds earlier generations by offering improved performance per watt. The part represents a high-end solution within the mature product portfolio, often replaced by Agilex or Stratix 10 families in new designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not publicly documented for this specific suffix. Consider migration to Stratix 10 or Agilex families for new designs, noting significant architectural differences.
